I'm really getting sick and tired of people trying to tell me what is controversial or what is extreme. I can make up my own mind. I'm really sick and tired other people trying to tell me what to think or what to feel. It's bullshit.
I am starting to believe that no name representatives start to blurt out absurdities to get their moment of fame. Which they hope will continue because Trump notices them.
What I have never fully understood is why does it matter what other people do? If a woman has an abortion to save her life, what do you care? What does it take from them? How does it matter to anything in an others life?
Why would anyone have a problem with LOVE? That’s what life is all about!
I think you misspelled "3D print all the Assault Weapons you want, because all gun control is unconstitutional and anti-gun laws are as dead as disco."
It means functioning properly as in you are trained to defend your country not mentally ill and shoot up a school. Also supreme court did rule that the right to bear arms is not unlimited.
They ruled that any new laws restricting said rights have to be in accord with legal limits that had been set at the same time period. Which is, pretty much, none.
Being adjudicated as 'criminally insane' actually IS a limit that existed. Such people should be locked up.
With a masters in psychology from Michigan State and a former Kindergarten teacher, Josh should have more empathy (and situational awareness) than this, one would think!
Further ways for MAGA to decimate the economy to own the libs. Legalization (2015) to 6/2020-same sex marriages generated $3.8B to local economies and $241M in state/local taxes. Obergefell meant 513K couples married as of 3/2020. Marriage is about love. These people offer nothing but hate.
Why is it the guys in congress who are the most vehement enemies of gay rights always look like an internet meme of what a closeted gay dude looks like?
Josh is a fundamentalist Christian, probably raised from birth in a Dutch Reformed Church (there are a lot of them in Michigan - remember Betsy Vose?) and force fed ultra right wing “Christian” propaganda. He lives in a cult
It always fascinates me that very often, 'Christian' people are the least 'Christian' in terms of how they treat other humans. I was brought up Catholic and I've seen some evil shit in the name of that religion let me tell you. When someone tells me they're a 'Christian' I run.
I spent 12 years of Catholic school. Altar boy (Latin Mass) grades 2-8). In 2nd grade my teacher (a nun) said it was a mortal sin to go to the Shriners circus playing in the National Guard Armory across the street from my school because the Shriners were not Catholics. The next year, my 3rd 1/2
grade teacher (a nun as well), said of course we could go to the circus; yes, the Shriners were not Catholics (I later learned they’re a Masonic Order), but the Shriners used the money they made running the circus to help sick and injured children. My doubts about Catholicism were born early
My deconversion grew from realising all these various Christians - whether phobes or allies - were saying wildly opposing things whilst all citing the same book, each as assured they knew God's intent as the other. They can't all be right. My pastor said, 'that's faith'. I said, 'that's bullshit.'
Cardinal Cushing, 1965: “Catholics do not need the support of civil law to be faithful to their own religious convictions and they do not seek to impose by law their moral views on others of society.”
Is this even a real person? What district does he represent? Some backwater in Michigan? It’s also his first term so he’s got about as much sway as my left foot. Just another whack-a-loon in a party full of them. Get his 5 seconds of fame and be completely overshadowed by the other asshats.
What's next...We will make every person who divorced their 1st wife for their 2nd, 3rd & 4th wife to go back to 1st wife and kids. What did their God say about men who only donate a sperm for a child to be born?
My Good Brain almighty these fools are beyond repair.
May 2024 Gallup Poll shows 69% agree that "marriages between same-sex couples should or should not be recognized by the law as valid, with the same rights as traditional marriages?"
In March 1996 it was only 27%. https://news.gallup.com/poll/1651/gay-lesbian-rights.aspx
Honestly, what is wrong with these folk (not rhetorical) The US has bigger problems than to attack cultural norms that have become just that and that the vast majority are in support of. Do elected officials do this because they are homophobic or because they have nothing else to offer?
Just why does it bother him? Are they forcing him into a gay marriage, I always wonder why some people are so triggered by other people’s lives that have nothing to do with them. Explain
Do you ever wonder why these people care so much about who a man or woman love ? How does that affect their lives ? It doesn’t. Now I’m pissed and need some dog pictures . F..King Republicans.
Well, he felt the need to go away for a week and come back with that post 🤷🏻♀️ soooooo I am thinking someone went away on vacation with his boyfriend instead of family and it didn't go very well 🤷🏻♀️
Of course it's both. What a vile person. No one thinks about gay people more than right wing asshats. Projection due to self loathing thanks to childhood indoctrination. Gross.
I wonder how homophobe dads would feel about closeted gay men dating/marrying their daughters? Because that’s exactly what will happen if you drive gay folks back into the closet. Better to let people be their true selves. The pursuit of happiness is a constitutional right!
It amazes and perhaps disheartens me the number of people who spout a subjective opinion as if it were objective fact. It has been said that the only danger in letting the fool speak, is in letting him speak unchallenged.
This is not remotely controversial, nor extreme; Josh Schriver did not sleep with his mother nor, let it be entirely clear, did he blow the men who constantly crossed her threshold.
He was friends, maybe, but nobody penetrated him, for money, which his mother did not charge 😂
FFS this is 2024. What's with all the going backwards nonsense? It's not even that long since gay marriage was made legal, what's the point in doing this? Who are married gay people harming exactly? Honestly sometimes I just want to get off this planet altogether.
This shit pisses me off to no end. My stepbrother already can’t marry his partner of 20 something yrs bc they both will lose their disability benefits for a long term illness if they marry; they fight to access healthcare each month already & they wanna more rights away fm our community?? Fuck this
What will never cease to rankle me...we didn't fight for that right for a flimsy piece of paper saying we made it. We fought for it because we had no means of obtaining next of kin rights over or partners without it. Imagine your homophobic parents seizing your house and kicking your partner out 1/2
when you die. Or having final say over whether to continue life support when there's still a chance you could be saved. Those events were the norm before Obergfell v. Hodge. Let's all stop acting like we did it just to piss off evangelicals already. 2/2
The heartbreaking reality of Gay couples not being allowed to see sick or injured partners or receiving updates on their care. “Are you related to the patient?” was soul crushing for loved ones.
Seriously. In WHAT way does WHO someone is legally allowed to marry affect him, or ANYONE ELSE for that matter? I just cannot with these hypocrites wanting to LORD over everyone else’s lives. 😤
On one hand, Schriver is absolutely useless and hasn’t done anything of substance. He’s mostly known for shit like this, not actual policy or passing laws. On the other hand, he’s saying what a lot of the rest of the MIGOP chuds want to say but can’t/won’t quite yet. It’ll get worse.
He’s probably one of those blank Grindr profiles that approaches with “pics” then ghosts when you ask for them. He can’t stand to see others happy when he’s miserable. That’s MAGA. Self-loathers inc.
They don't know it's extreme because they ignorantly believe that this nation was formed as a Christian nation when in fact, the founders fleed religious persecution!
This human pimple needs to soul search and revisit the Declaration of Independence before he taps his tiny fingers on his keypad to post this bull. Marriage equality has been legal in my home state since this turd was in middle school. His feelings do not negate the marriages of others.
Anyone who is this preoccupied with gay marriage is gay, and hates himself for it. It’s the old, “if I can’t be openly gay, then no one can”. These folks are so transparent.
I don't understand why certain people want other people to live the way they want them to.
None of this affects me,I live my life the way I want to.
Nobody will tell me how to live
Everyone should live the life of who they are and not what other people want them to live.
I support LGBTQ.
It’s not about their religion, they just need groups to “other,” in order reinforce their superiority. They believe they are good and righteous, and everyone else is beneath them. Religion is a tool they use to support their superiority. This is why it’s called “supremacy.”
This is true and well said.
I appreciate the way you put it.
It has taken years of fighting for people to be able to live the life of who they are.
I can't stand people who have to pick on stuff they don't like or understand.
Live your life.
These people are weak who want to control someone else.
Marriage is the legal combining of property and security of blood lines. Only within the past 300 years has marriage for love become the norm. Only since 1900 have US women been freed of being the legal property of their husbands.
Love blinds people to the reality that marriage is a business deal.
While that may be historically accurate, and arranged marriages are still common in some cultures, a business deal would seem to benefit more if two men or two women could enter into such negotiations as easily as a man and a woman. There would be more opportunities available.
No question! My point was to undermine the gauzy, ostensible 'holiness' of marriage as anything other than a secular transaction. God botherers need reminding their Sky Fairy rulebook applies only to them, not sane, secular Americans. Keep their god out of our secular government.
When one group gets their rights taken away, then another group will have theirs taken away, and so on and so on.
I don't want my rights taken away ,so I'll fight for other people's rights.
The LGBTQ family has been some of the nicest people I have ever spoken to.
I appreciate all of them
They started with women's reproductive rights, so now they think they should move on to the next. Then they'll go on to another and another. Some of those will include red hat MAGA folks. Too bad.only those with an orange complexion will be left.
All I know is that if gop men could get pregnant, there would be an abortion clinic on every corner.
I heard some of them say it's always the girls fault for being a sl#t.
No real man thinks or talks like that.
He probably has latent homosexual tendencies and is struggling with his own consciousness, so he acts out against it to make the perception of dislike towards the LGBTQ.
Literally, lol. It's not always about internalized self loathing. Some times it is just truly about ignorance (willed or not), fear of things that are different, and no where else to put their frustration and hate with their own miserable lives.
it just feels like cishet’s covering for each other, like they don’t believe a straight man could hate gay or trans people. I have a very different perspective and experience, obviously 🫶
Why? I just don't get it. How does my marriage affect anybody else's marriage in any way, shape or form? Is it not for the benefit of society that ANY marriage can serve as a stabilizing force for good?
Abortion and LGBT issues are safe positions for Republicans to whine about because it has zero effect on their lives while expressing the maximum amount of moral outrage.
These fckn MAGAtards would have a helluvalot less trouble getting a bunch of their shitty agenda through if they wouldn't keep dickin' with peoples personal lives.
This along with more companies suddenly removing themselves from the Corporate Equality Index seems like the first steps into the next war waged my MAGA
Making a lifelong commitment with another human being is one of the most conservative (small "c") things one can do. Getting the government to decide who can and can't make that commitment has always been radical.
Usually those that complain the most have the most skeletons. We tried to warn everyone. First they came for the women's rights now they are moving to LGBTQ and interracial marriage won't be far behind.
Advocating to strip away people’s rights, love, and happiness IS extreme. Denying consenting adults the ability to marry isn’t about tradition or morality—it’s about control and discrimination.
It's intriguing, because the driving force for controversy like this is the fear that your descendants will one day be the same way. It's a fight to suppress a characteristic they don't want. But at the same time, vocal minorities on either side of any conflict bring everything to ruin
People who get involved in government want to control people , full stop. They do not want to help, encourage or lift anybody. They want to control. Your thoughts, feelings, your way of life, what you eat, what you do - control. They call it “freedom” but government is the opposite by definition.
I am going to have to fake gay marry my recently widowed sister in law so she isn't stuck here as the rest of us flee to Canada. At least we already have the same last name.

Take it away!!

Legalize love

Fixed it for ya!
In good working order, able to fulfill function.
I'll give you a hint: It didn't mean "has lots of regulations limiting the use of".

Wiki is mysteriously missing any biographical info, but what a well coifed fashionista.

Neither should other denominations and faiths.

There’s literally no other reason to care about others and their ability to achieve joy.
I hope she leaves and takes the kids and he never sees them again
But I’m being daft.
Safely Republican and challenged by anybody different.

I support LGBTQ.
In reality, marriage is just the ultimate sign of devotion and love. It doesn't matter who the people being married are.
This isn't just about rights. It's about acceptance.
I appreciate the way you put it.

The list is long
Ban birth control:
Ban LGBTQIA marriage:
Criminalize same-sex relations:
Ban interracial marriage:
Segregation:
that’s the “again” part of maga

The russonazis are coming out of the woodwork.
Also conservatives - It’s not illegal to be shameless so I can say whatever I want.
PS - lawlessness is shamelessness
But you won’t be recognized “married” when you return to the US and you would not have the same rights/benefits as a man/woman couple would.
They're going after the same marginalized groups that Hitler did.
